Abstract: Besides presenting zoonotic potential, helminths of cats are responsible for gastrointestinal, hepatic, and pulmonary diseases. In order to identify the helminthic fauna, prevalence, mean intensity of parasitism (MIP), and mean abundance population (MAP), 146 cats from the metropolitan area of Cuiabá, Midwestern Brazil, were necropsied. In 98 these animals, 12 species of helminths were identified, comprising (species, prevalence, MIP, and MAP, respectively): nematodes (Ancylostoma braziliense [50,68% -53,64 -2… Show more

“…Coman attribute the prevalence of this cestode with the importance of rodent in the diet of these cats (Coman 1972). In our study, the prevalence of the D. caninum was 58 %, which is compatible with the findings of the previous studies done in Brazil (52.6) (Labarthe et al 2004) and Iran (68.1 and 49.5 %) (Arbabi and Hooshyar 2009;Zibaei et al 2007), However, the prevalence of this parasite was higher than the previously recorded rates by other surveys from various countries (Borji et al 2011;Calvete et al 1998;Canto et al 2013;Dalimi and Mobedi 1992;Jittapalapong et al 2007;Khalafalla 2011;Lefkaditis et al 2014;Raji et al 2013;Ramos et al 2013). High prevalence of this parasite in resent survey could be due to the fact that D. caninum requires fleas as intermediary hosts and cats infected after ingesting infected fleas (Labarthe et al 2004).…”

“…M. lineatus was the dominant tapeworm reported in our study with a prevalence rate of 79 % which was higher than that reported in Spain (13.8 %) (Calvete et al 1998), Italy (1.2 %) (Riggio et al 2013), Iran (13.4 and 8 %) (Arbabi and Hooshyar 2009;Borji et al 2011). The T. taeniaeformis prevalence (60 %) was relatively similar to that found by Coman (1972) in Australia (78 %), Stoichev et al (1982) in Bulgaria (75.5 %), Abu-Madi et al (2008) in Qatar (74 %) and Borthakur and Mukharjee (2011) in India (70.4 %) but the prevalence rate of this cestode in our study was higher than that recorded in Spain (8.6 and 22 %) (Calvete et al 1998;Millan and Casanova 2009), Nile Delta of Egypt (22 %) (Khalafalla 2011), Christmas Island (7.14 %) (Adams et al 2008), Greece (8.37 %) (Lefkaditis et al 2014), Mexico (4 %) (Canto et al 2013), Nigeria (6.67 %) (Raji et al 2013), Brazil (0.68 %) (Ramos et al 2013) and Iran (2, 9.6, 15, 12.3 and 9.2 %) (Arbabi and Hooshyar 2009;Borji et al 2011;Changizi et al 2007;Jamshidi et al 2012;Zibaei et al 2007).
